This defeats the purpose of having an SSD. I'm sure that BITMICRO has some innovation that they aren't telling everyone, but it could just be a promotional ploy. Either way, I'd be wary of any MLC products, whether it be SSD, CF, or even microSDs.

The manufacturer's site says:
2.5-inch: 8 to 416 GB*
* Up to 64 GB at 8.5 mm height

You see - no mention of 832GB.
And i can't help but wonder if 64GB is 8,5 mm thick, is the 416GB disk that the manufacturer IS talking about, 55mm thick???

This is how much 128GB costs.

Please post links to a lesser priced "Name Brand" PC with equal or greater specs (including CPU cache, bus speed, memory speed, etc.) than a Mac. I bet you cannot find 2, probably not any.

The reason Macs "seem" more expensive is that they only have 3 models in each category (with a few exceptions). Models being 1. The absolute latest technology, 2. One step below that, 3. One more step below that. Categories being Pro Desktop, Consumer Desktop, Mini Desktop, Pro Notebook, Consumer Notebook, and iPod (which has recently expanded beyond the 3 - Classic, Mini, Shuffle). That's the business model. And it works http://finance.google.com/finance?chdnp=0&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1199555325000&chddm=492269&q=NASDAQ:AAPL

Other companies like Dell continue to sell 3-5 year old technology which gives the illusion of greater value. If you want the same kind of bargains with Apple, you have to go through a retailer like Small Dog. Apple is a hard nosed company, who cares very little about freedom. They design an exquisite user experience and deliver their vision for what computing should be. It's unique and many people love. If you don't, they are not going to change for you, or make it easy for you to change it for yourself. The phrase "how do you like them apples" does not apply, because nobody cares how you like 'em.]]>Jan 5th 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/bitmicro-introduces-832gb-ssd-for-ces-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/bitmicro-introduces-832gb-ssd-for-ces-2008/Jan 5th 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/bitmicro-introduces-832gb-ssd-for-ces-2008/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/04/bitmicro-introduces-832gb-ssd-for-ces-2008/
